Hana
- HanaMaui.com - A trip to
Hana is said to revitalize many local residents from the city life
of the other side of the island. The natural beauty of the Hana
experience will take you back in time and give you an idea of what
the rest of Maui was like 30 years ago. Unspoiled, Serene and
Mystical: Hana is truly Maui's "Last Hawaiian Place."
- Hana Maui
Highlights - HAMOA BEACH - Located a few minutes South of Hana
Town and a mile from Hana Accommodations, this white cresent-shaped
beach that James Michener referred to as the most perfect beach in
the Pacific.
- Hana Gardenland -
Botanical Paradise in Hana Maui, 3.5 miles from Hana Town, is a lush
paradise retreat blessed by rainfall, sunshine and cool breezes with
over 5 acres of meandering pathways through palm trees, tropical
gardens, flowers and jungle.
- The Dream of
Old Hawai - Hana's residents exude a gentleness, a graciousness,
that is palpable and unforgettable. Even celebrities who seek
anonymity end up staying, because the people of Hana respect their
privacy. They would never point out a Willie Nelson, Kris
Kristofferson, or Woody Harrelson pulling up to the general store.
- Hana Cultural
Center & Museum - The first plantation growing sugar cane opened
at Hana in 1855, and by 1900 there were five plantations, three
mills an miles of sugar cane fields between the Hana Airport and
Kipahulu. In 1921 the plantations were consolidated into one
company, Kaeleku Plantation, and that company was converted to a
cattle ranch in 1946. Hotel Hana Maui was built shortly after that.
At the present time, the Hana people are employed by Hana Ranch,
Hotel Hana Maui, various rental units, many county jobs, three
commercial nurseries, gardening and housecleaning etc.
